Don’t mind me, It’s Itsuki.
"I ask of you now," the mystical blade asked the amnesiac warrior, now as close as ever to finding his lost memory. Itsuki had dreamt of this moment before. He had no idea then, that the blade he held in his hand, throughout all this time, was the one that sealed all his memories, to his own consent. Itsuki remembered the times he had, with his mother, his brother Itou, the unit they called ‘home’, SPECTRUM, Yul, Sir Lander, Fiona, and…
"Who is Itsuki?"
Who is Itsuki? He now knew the answer to the question that stumped him for a long time. Who is Itsuki, Zion asks? Itsuki is the man that became the sole hope of a unit decaying in the inhuman ruling that is the Mechanican Union. He was the one that gave birth to the term ‘guardian’. He was the man Yul respected, as a warrior, and as a father. He was the man that saved an entire town from being overrun by the same military he worked for. The man Yuki, with all her heart, loved and had vowed to protect. The guardian, in all its terms, sacrificing his personal good for the well being of those he loved. He was…
I am…
The blade shimmered in the evening sky, shedding its warmth to all those that’ll need its power before the gongs of war sounds again. He again repeated what he had promised not to do again, but this time, it’ll be his own sacrifice. He believed, that like what Yuki did for him, is inevitably the same as what will do. At last, the promise of the guardian, will be fulfilled…
"I am Itsuki. I am him."
The blade, Zion, the one named Devotion, again showed Itsuki the last form of its power. It was the grandest blade he ever laid eyes upon, and yet, he knew that this would be the second time he have seen it. Itou said that after Yuki had given her own in order to fulfill the wish of the Zion’s wielder, and still, after all that, the blade still radiated the power that he believed was lost forever. He held it softly in his hands, and returned it to its amulet form. Viewing the night sky for the final time, Itsuki sat down on the edge of the cliff, where the battle for the Midas’ Touch will begin. He sat down and pondered, what will the others do after his offering will be done…
"But what of Yumi?"
The blade invoked him a question that he has forgotten, a question that still has no answer for him. Itsuki shook his head in disbelief, but he still had one more answer left in his heart…
"I believe her. I trust Yumi…"
